DIY Speakers

[GregWormald]

There are some very high quality designs for DIY out there and the design/calculations are far from trivial. When I had a chance to examine the inside of my current speakers (SGR CX4F) before purchase, I was gobsmaked at the maze of bracings, divided areas, the general precision of the work, and the multiplicity of materials in the design.

 

Before that purchase, I had a look at a number of the DIY designs and they demanded wood-working skills far beyond my level, e.g. within a mm. They were anything but a simple box. Since I couldn't ensure the quality of the work I was unsure how the sound quality of the design could be assured.

 

If you are considering DIY check out the designs and see whether you have the talent.

 

If you want to buy someone else's DIY then looking and listening is the only way to judge.
